Nigerian pastor on an awkward initiation into a cult by a Bishop

A Nigerian pastor, Amos Obeten, based in Calabar, has revealed how he was almost initiated into a cult group by a bishop 23 years ago. The disclosure was made in response to a statement by veteran actor, Yemi Solade, who claimed that belonging to a cult group was necessary for survival in Nigeria.

Speaking about his experience, Pastor Obeten explained that he was a young man seeking spiritual guidance when he approached the bishop. However, he was surprised when the bishop started asking him to join a cult group, assuring him that it was the only way to become successful in Nigeria.

According to Pastor Obeten, he almost got initiated into a cult outside the country on one of his journeys for ministration. However, his commitment to the Holy Ghost saved him from the ordeal. He went on to stress that his experience made him question the credibility of some religious leaders in the country.

Cultism has been a persistent problem in Nigeria for several years, with many young people joining such groups for various reasons, including protection, power, and financial gain. The government and law enforcement agencies have been cracking down on these groups in recent years.

The actor’s statement has generated a lot of controversy on social media, with many Nigerians expressing their displeasure and calling for an end to cultism in the country. The revelation by Pastor Obeten has added to the discourse, with many calling for religious leaders to lead by example and shun cultism.
